The In-Betweener (Between Life And Death) (S)
“The idea that I should take a nap and pretend none of this ever happened is a powerful one. Bathing in the smell of blood and whatever it is that he’s done in his pants is just driving the idea home with a little extra force. Even taking deep breaths to calm down isn’t an option because the smell is making me gag. I absolutely have to turn on the AC—which is a big use of energy I’ll probably need—and blow as much air as I can away from me and toward him. I’ve drawn out a sketch of the streets I’ll need, along with lots of alternatives. I’m hopeful that most of my path will allow a skinny car like this one through. The world didn’t go to hell entirely overnight. Most people at least had time to run out of gas somewhere or hole up for days. Or months. When my mom and I were looking for this place, we had very little trouble getting through the streets, though we did attract some attention that required a great deal of shooting on my mom’s part. I can’t imagine that it would be too much ...worse now on the roads.MoreLess
